Unfortunately, reliable and consistent abortion statistics in Australia are difficult to find. Many figures are not centrally reported and may even be deliberately obfuscated. However, estimates suggest between 65,000 and 80,000 abortions annually based on aggregated data from various sources. One such estimate can be found in the Johnston's Archive.

More recently, the Medical Journal of Australia reported 88,287 abortions for the 2017–18 financial year. That's approximately 242 babies per day — or 10 every hour — losing their lives in Australian clinics. This number reflects both the horrifying scale and routine nature of abortion in this nation.

Some well-known facts:

• Abortion is legal in every state and territory of Australia, often up to 24 weeks — and beyond with approval.
• Most abortions are taxpayer-funded through Medicare or public hospitals.
• Abortions include both surgical and chemical (RU486) procedures, many performed outside hospital settings.
• There is no national mandatory abortion reporting system in Australia.
• Access to abortion is often easier than access to dental care or physiotherapy.
